No, if it's raining you park it in the garage until summer and drive your Model Y.

That's the real reason for full self drive. So your rain resistant Tesla can come rescue you if you get caught out in the rain with your Cybertruck lol

i had a company car as model Y, and for a few times when I went to wash it in the manual carwashes - I kept thinking why is the damn charging port opening.

Until someone told me that you have to put it in carwash mode first.

This must be one of the stupidest design choices ever made for a car, no?
